Profytable to kepe the bodye in helth...", Robert Wyer, [?1540]. Text starting: "As I find in Astronomie ther bee four manner of cholours in mans boddie complections", and ending with the section, "The saying of [Erra Pate]r to the Husband[man]", and without the last two sections published in other versions, "Heerafter followeth the Reignes of the Kings of England...", and, "A rule to know when the Termes begin and end, with their Returnes... " Perhaps the above manuscript is copied from the "after 1582" edition. The Prognostication is a compilation of astrological medical advice "that hath dominion of the bodie of man" and a predictor of the weather during the various seasons. This fictional author was extremely popular during the Tudor period and continued to be published, with additions, into the 18th century."Here hee sheweth of all the dismall or perilous daies that cometh in the yeare... Masters of Astronomie and visick that this crafte first found telleth the most perilous and most dangerous daies in the yeare - In which if ann mann or woman bee let bloud of wounde or vein they shall die wthin xvi daies following... ."Provenance: Found by the present vendor in the walls of an old house.

Um die Wandung vertiefter Fischblasendekor, in den Zwickeln unter dem Rand stilisierte Blüten aus sechs punktförmigen Punzen. Um den inneren Rand eine gepunzte Perlenkette. Aufgewölbter, gegenläufig tordierter Nabel, die Fischblasen alternierend facettiert bzw. modelliert mit vegetabilem Relief. Im Zentrum eine applizierte Plakette mit dem Wappenschild in einer mit farbigem Email gefüllten Rosette. Der Nabel gerahmt von einem reliefierten Lorbeerkranz. Ungemarkt. H 5,4, D 22,7, Gewicht 404 g.Venedig, erste Hälfte 16. Jh.Sogenannte Omphalos-Schüsseln, also Schalen mit einem erhabenen Nabel im Zentrum, werden seit der griechischen Antike produziert. Hier ist der Omphalos gerahmt von gewirbelten „Fischblasen“. Dieses Ornament kam vermutlich ursprünglich aus dem indischen oder persischen Raum nach Europa, wo es in der keltischen Kunst schon in der La-Tène-Zeit zu finden ist. Im Mittelalter wurde es über die Buchmalerei in Zentraleuropa bekannt und fand häufig Verwendung im Maßwerk spätgotischer Kirchenfenster. Auch die Fußschale stammt aus der Antike. Ihre Bezeichung „tazza“ verweist auf die Verwendung als Trinkgefäß - eigentlich arabischen Ursprung, führte sie schließlich zur Wortfindung für die deutsche Tasse.Einer der Orte, an dem kulturelle Einflüsse aus vielen europäischen und asiatischen Ländern zusammenkamen, war über Jahrhunderte Venedig. Die Stadt lebte vom Handel, aber auch von ihrer sagenhaften Kunstproduktion, die sowohl dem Reichtum als auch den vielfältigen Inspirationen zu verdanken war. Der Schalentypus mit den spätgotischen Stilelementen kam in Venedig im 15. Jahrhundert in Mode. Zunächst vermutlich in Silber mit Teilvergoldung produziert, ging man nach 1500 dazu über, die Schalen aus Kupfer zu schlagen und zu emaillieren. Dabei verwendete man verschiedene Emailtechniken, sowohl Zellenschmelz als auch Maleremails. Eine weniger preziöse Variante, allerdings ohne Fuß, wurde zeitgleich auch nördlich der Alpen produziert, die sogenannte Beckenschlägerschüssel aus Messing, einem legierten Metall mit hohem Kupferanteil. Die Familie Collalto ist seit dem 9. Jh. als freie Grafen in der Treviser Mark in Venetien nachweisbar. Kaiser Friedrich I., der Staufer, verlieh Schinella I., Graf zu Treviso, und seinen Brüdern 1155 die Grafschaft Trevigio mit besonderen Rechten. Rambaldus VIII., Graf von Collalto und Treviso, erhielt 1304 die Markgrafschaft Ancona und wurde zwei Jahre später Patrizier von Venedig. Er war der erste Graf, der sich nach dem Stammsitz der Familie Collalto nannte.LiteraturVgl. die kleinere godronierte Schale mit Jagdmotiv, Venedig 1480 - 1490 zugeschrieben, in der Sammlung Victoria & Albert Museum, London, Leihgabe aus der Rosalind and Arthur Gilbert Collection (Acc.No. LOAN:GILBERT.544-2008).Vgl. ibd. eine weitere Fußschale, ebenfalls Venedig 1480 - 1490 zugeschrieben, Acc.No. 274-1881.Vgl. ibd., die mit farbigem Email bemalte Fußschale aus Kupfer, Venedig 1500 - 1550 zugeschrieben, Acc.
